Configuring your Philips P-Line Display

This article should be used as a guide to assist you with setting up your Philips P-Line displays to work with Signagelive. The instructions will take you through installing and configuring Signagelive from the displays out the box state. If you have any issues during the process, please speak with our Support or Sales team for further advice.

What do I need?

To configure your display, you will need a P-Line Philips Player, for a full list of supported models, please read this article.

Insert the USB storage device containing the Philips Signagelive Player APK file (which must be extracted to the root to the USB storage device)

Using your remote control, press Home, 1,8,8,8 (If asked for a password, the default is 1,2,3,4)

Within the Admin Mode menu, select Apps

Navigate to the File Manager (and select 'Open')

Navigate to the MNT Folder (and select 'Open')

Navigate to the usb_storage folder (and select 'Open')

Open the Signagelive.apk file (select 'Open')

Select 'Install'

Once the app has installed, select 'Done'

Use the return key on your remote control to return to the Admin Menu

Navigate to Settings (select 'Open')

Select Signage Display

Select Custom App

Select the Signagelive App

Select Save

Ensure the Android timezone is configured correctly on the player:

Navigate back to settings

Go to Date and Time settings

Check that the correct timezone is set for your player

Press the Home button on the remote

Navigate to Advanced Configuration

Select Date and Time

Select Daylight saving time

Ensure that the daylight saving time settings are correct for your timezone

Press the Source button on your remote control

Choose the Custom source

Within the Signagelive settings page, select your display’s Timezone

Select any Screen Rotation (if applicable)

Save Settings

Your player will now launch and after downloading its content will show the Signagelive activation code. This should then be activated on your Signagelive Network using one of your active licences and when the player next successfully performs its content check, you’ll see the green tick appear to let you know the display has been successfully connected to Signagelive.
